€45,00

Original Postwar Signature on a Postwar Photo of Johannes Hönscheid. Oberfeldwebel Johannes Hönscheid (14.07.1922 † 02.03.2001) earned the Ritterkreuz on March 12, 1945 as Oberfeldwebel und Kriegsberichtstatter der Fallschirmtruppe.

“Feldwebel Hans Hönscheid knocked out 3 Sherman tanks with close combat weapons, captured 200 Englishmen on his own and thereby crushed an enemy penetration. When Hönscheid fell into enemy captivity he managed to escape and make his way back to his unit. Hönscheid had previously been serving as the editor of a frontline newspaper. This 22 year old Feldwebel became the first Knight’s Cross Holder of the Propagandatruppen.”

Provenance: This signature comes from one of the largest postwar signature collection I’ve ever commissioned. This collection was started by a Waffen-SS Veteran, Werner H., in the 1950’s until he passed away.
